City Boutique 4300 Manchester Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63110

"I bought two blouses from here for $78.00 total. I got them home and it smelled like fried chicken. I washed them in the sink and the water was so dark I thought it was the ink from the blouses, (which is why I don’t have pictures of the water) NO!! I rinsed and washed two more times and the water was clear! The smell was still faint but Um sure at least one was worn before and retagged. I hesitated doing this review but after the smell was still there, I had too. Please do better."

"The staff person/owner was unprofessional. She "chatted up" a man while I stood in line with my items. It wasn't until he turned around and saw me, that he ended the conversation, only to have her start another topic. The selections for sizes 1X are extremely poor. There's ONE rake BY THE DOOR, with 17 items of clothing. Clearly, she doesn't want curvy customers. She was also quite insulting. I go out of my way to support Black businesses however, sadly I won't be returning to this store."

"Had a most unpleasant conversation with the owner of this store after expressing my disappointment that she was no longer carrying plus size clothing. She said she had another part of the store, same clothes in plus size, but the plus size women were afraid to wear them. Well, maybe the answer is that plus size women prefer flattering A-line shapes and lovely diaphanous fabrics over clingy, unflattering spandex. This person clearly doesn’t understand what looks good on us, so I can see why the plus size side of her store was unsuccessful. Move on, curvy women . There is nothing to see here."

"I ordered pants online. After picking them up I noticed that they looked small, even after loosening the belt. I immediately check for the size, but the paper tag is gone. That can happen (it's paper), so I check the inside for the sewn in tag. Someone cut it out! Why would they do that, unless they didnt have the size I ordered & tried to pull one over? I left a message about a return due to my concerns. If I got a response, you did. I dont trust this business. They wont see another cent of my money."

"The owner & employees are awesome. The clothes/shoes/jewelry/purses/everything is trendy, cute, great fit, very stylish. Every size from small to 2x I think. Glad we stopped in to support on Small Business Saturday."
